When the signers of the Declaration of Independence put their names to the document on July 4, 1776, they were risking their very lives. But what are the implications for us today? In this video, I explore that freedom and liberty for which our founders fought and what we can do to preserve those freedoms in the 21st century.

China's asteroid probe turned its cameras back towards the Earth and Moon, capturing an image of our home planet on May 30, 2025. The image was taken when the spacecraft was about 590,000 km away, speeding towards asteroid 2016HO3, where it will retrieve a sample and bring it back to Earth before carrying on to main-belt comet 311P. The spacecraft has been in flight for 33 days and is now over 12 million kilometers from Earth.

We’re hanging out with on the stoop of Anthony Catalano’s home in Boro Park, Brooklyn, New York City. These pictures are of the “two main stoops on my block throughout the five decades on my life in Broro Park, Brooklyn NYC,” says Anthony. Born and raised in Brooklyn, he passed away suddenly on March 1st, 2014. We’ve features Anthony’s superb pictures of Brooklyn in the 1970s here and here. And the comments beneath each picture are by Anthony, whose warmth and love for his neighbourhood, friends, family and Brooklyn shines. This is Anthony’s story:   Where the heck have you all gone? LL-UR: Carolyn, Christine, Margaret, Phyllis on my stoop.     Brooklyn Porch Hangout 1977 70s sneakers bottoms, Kodachrome Here are my family and friends hanging out on my porch on a late-mid Sunday afternoon in the fall of 1977. I had taught my brother how to use my expensive Canon 814 Super-8mm movie camera. I often made clay cartoons using the frame-by-frame feature. I also bought an intervalometer that they are using here, making the clouds move fast, and themselves in time-lapse cinematography. I plan to convert my ancient 8mm to quality video some time this year. Shown: Steve, Letty?, Jerry back to us], Edgar, John [striped], Marty, Chris. Dig the classic Puma sneakers.     My Denim Bell-Bottoms & Boots @ 17 in 1977, Ektachrome 160, processed at home. Check out the side-burns and the bell-bottoms which make an occasional comeback but not for men…. unless you are in the Navy which is where they originated in the first place of course.

Minolta SRT-102 Vivitar 20mm on tripod w/timer – I ran to the dead middle. I say the B thr R the O the OK the LYN is the place where I stay. Ok: There was no rap to speak of then. Our block was probably 95% Italian-American, with last names like Catalano, Modica, Randazzo, Bencivenga, Cavalieri, DeRosa, Fiscetti, Raimonda and Sperlazzo. I was asked to add this to The Age of Aquarius pool but I must let people know that 1976 was a bit past that mindset. Yes TAOA was not just an era it was a place in your head man. Dig it? It was Jesus Christ, Superstar optimism. ’76 was post Watergate blues replaced with Bicentennial Spirit and Disco on the rise mixed with rock or should I say Disco vs Rock. This is a Rock/Metal crowd. Sabbath, Zepp & Rush. Christine loved The Bay City Strollers however so we tortured her with “The Gay Shitty Strollers”. etc… Ah: The deadly lore of transient pop. Britney can you hear me darlink? You s**k!!! Greenday: Stop girley-whining! Y’all triple-bite the big one. Did Alice Cooper whine?     Myself as Mr. FDR HS, Mr. Phys ED (Yeah right)… Oh it’s just Tony Catalano. My first summer finished with High School, finally!

ASA 100 Figure all in a row bore the snot out of me. Zzzzzzzzzzz I want layers of action where people go nuts and reveal their inner selves for a few moments. I think people tended to break out their best The Fonz (double-thumbs-up) and The Peace sign rather spontaneously. Interesting forgotten note: The style of my shirt was inspired by a country-western song sung by Dolly Parton. “Coat Of Many Colors” . Top 100 AM gave it tremendous airplay time even here in NYC. Patchwork clothing became popular (again?) just from that song.     Brooklyn Stoop 1976 70s Vamping The Fonz Front to right then right to back: Marty, Randell, Chris, Paula, Edgar (doing The Fonz), then up to Christine, Steven, my brother John (doing The Fonz also) and me-Anthony in multicolored shirt.

I drank Southern Comfort and Bud [pouring SC into the beer can as it got empty – sheer brilliance] …I later found out that this is called a Boiler Maker and took over two days to recouperate. I remember vomiting at the Barnum & Bailly Circus then next day at Madison Square Garden, Sunday with my little cousins and Uncle. How I survived the 70s God knows. it’s a good thing Dom’s immigrant mother did not fathom the full meaning of his “Do It In The Dirt” shirt.[Yeah, I know there is a bike in the dirt, yeah, yeah]   Street Skateboarding 1977 Jerry Sozio, Edgar Vargas – having an ice – , John Catalano.

Right photo downward: Anthony C, Anthony Esposito his sister Lisa, Kenny Mafeo, & my Brother Johnny. I quickly handed out sticks and had none left for Johnny, he almost started to cry, so I told him to make believe he had one. He then smile about the acting job. Notice that we are pretty lean machines: We ran around from our waking moment till moments before our face hit the pillow dreaming about doing the same the next day. There were very, very few overweight kids to be seen. Am I crazy, to recall it being that way? We had fun with a stick, a cardboard fridge box, wood, wheels and sand. It makes me glad I’m almost 52. Taken via Kodak Instamatic camera likely by Mom.   The Brooklyn Stoop 1977 70s Kodachrome 25 Slide Randy, Chris, Me, Paula, Christine. Across from my house down the street a bit. This was the second most popular stoop to hang out on: Chris’ stoop. Timer on SRT-102 or my XE-7 50mm Kodachrome 25 slide film on tripod: I ran in.People have asked why is it not like this now. A good question. I sincerely believe that young people have become anti-social in many ways. Conversation on “the stoop” was slow and sporadic. We chided each other, told stories about school and occasionally broke out into a box-ball challenge when the afternoon cooled off in the summer. We all had many cousins who would come over when visiting. This stoop is still there, empty. When I passed by it about a month ago. I stood looking at it and was saddened especially since Chris, a fellow ham radio operator, I learned had passed away about 12 years ago. The whole area has nobody there I know any longer. Nobody at all. [UPDATE this high-quality replaced the horribly bad thing that was here before – a digital photo taken of slide on frosted glass! UGH!] I opened the plastic/glass slide mount: It’s Kodachrome 25 !!! – I did use a tripod and my friends were used to holding still for me.

My brother is standing with a lit punk. We are waiting for it to get late enough to start shooting of our tons of fireworks.

Elderly people of today seem to rarely have 1/100th of the class. Face it: Grandpa was from another era being born in 1892. He could not be found working the nickel machines in “A.C.”, however he could play a mean game of pinochle. I love the lapels on that jacket. Snazzy, no?

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, hinted Tuesday evening that Veo 3, Google’s latest video generating model, could potentially be used for video games. 

The recent update enables creators to share clips of their live videos on Notes, and Substack will notify them in real time about the performance.

In Bunnie Xo we trust. Stories like this make my reality-TV addicted heart sing. It’s the perfect crossover of something that occupies my free time and my career, creating a topic on which I could speak for hours. However, I will spare you, readers, from that and keep this as brief and concise as possible. If you’re anything like me, then you’ve been glued to your TV every night watching Love Island. The reality dating show first took off in the UK, bringing together hot singles to explore new connections and testing couples to see how much they like each other. If a couple withstands the tests along with new “bombshells” being brought into the villa, they have a chance to win a massive cash prize. What makes this dating show so much more entertaining than The Bachelor is that it’s all happening in real time. Episodes are released each night, highlighting what’s been happening in the villa over the last day or so. And to make things even better, viewers can vote on who their favorite couples are or least favorite singles, which can lead to them being voted off the island. The UK phenomenon has been franchised to other nations, such as Australia and the United States. This season of USA is currently underway, with thousands of people tuning into Peacock each night to see the drama unfold. This season, one woman, named Huda, has been at the center of the drama. She coupled up with a man named Jeremiah, and it became very obvious that she was closed off to exploring other connections, wanting him for herself and only her. Us when the bestie goes on a date. #LoveIslandUSA pic.twitter.com/7BLylrMLUF — Love Island USA (@loveislandusa) June 9, 2025 (Which is kind of hard given nearly every challenge in the show requires contestants to make out with each other.) So, when a new girl, Iris, was brought into the villa and the viewers voted for her and Jeremiah to go on a date, Huda entirely crashed out. I’m not going to lie, I love a good reality TV fight, but some of her reactions were very concerning, and many fans of the show thought that production would pull her from the cast. But they did not and have kept her in the mix to keep fans hooked. I digress.. back to Jeremiah going on a date. After the date, Huda pulled Iris aside to chat with her about what had been said, whether Jeremiah was interested in exploring their connection, and more. Now I felt like Huda and Jeremiah were slightly toxic for each other to begin with, and this conversation solidified that when Huda was so upset that she had to sit in the sun all day while her man was talking to another woman on the beach. It’s almost like she forgot the kind of show she signed up for! During their conversation, Iris tells Huda that their date was a beach picnic, and the way Huda reacted made it seem like Jeremiah stabbed her in the back, planning her “dream date” with another woman. Sounds like a conversation that needs to be taken up with production. In this scene, after Huda begins to show that she’s upset by this, the show chose to highlight the Jelly Roll song “Save Me.” “Somebody save me, me from myself I’ve spent so long living in Hell They say my lifestyle is bad for my health It’s the only thing that seems to help…” this took me OUTTTT huda crying about their date and the song singing "somebody save me from myself" GOOODDBYYEEEE the producers know #loveislandusa pic.twitter.com/g3owcFlvim — eternal lee (@crescentjjong) June 17, 2025 I’m not going to lie, I rocked out a little bit to the song after this scene, but when Bunnie Xo caught wind that her husband’s music was featured on the episode, she was met with pure confusion given the depth of the song’s lyrics. “I heard they used J’s song ‘Save Me’ on ‘Love Island?’ Why? Who needs to be saved?!” Bunnie and her friends then debrief on what’s been going on on the show, giggling about the scene they chose to feature “Save Me” during. While I’m not sure this is the struggle that Jelly Roll imagined his song would be used to get through, I have to give it to production; it makes the moment way more dramatic. Bunnie Xo then says she’s going to begin watching Love Island just for Huda and said that she would have her on the podcast. And it’s true, Bunnie Xo fashion, she has respect for Huda’s dance moves, given her profession as a midnight dancer. “I saw her shakin’ her a** and was like ‘Heyyy.’ Even more reason to love her.”  If Bunnie Xo has Huda on the Dumb Blonde Podcast after this season, I will be sat for that episode. @xomgitsbunnie New pod- OUT NOW #dbpodcast #loveislandusa ♬ original sound – Bunnie Xo Fire up “Save Me” before you go.

Bad news for the Cody Jinks fans who were hoping to see him over the 4th of July weekend. While the United States will be celebrating Independence Day, Cody Jinks was supposed to be crossing the border, bringing his Texas outlaw sound to Canada—emphasis on the word supposed. Jinks was scheduled to play two shows over the weekend, on the 4th and 5th, in Abbotsford, BC, and Kelowna, BC; however, he has shared with a heavy heart that he is canceling the shows. The “Must Be The Whiskey” singer shared on social media that he has to cancel the shows due to Canadian border officials not allowing his production trucks through. “While attempting to cross the border into Canada, my production trucks were forced to turn around and head back to the United States by the Canada Border Services Agency. Getting them into Canada was made a logistic impossibility despite following all the prescribed procedures given to us. I had to make the difficult decision to cancel the shows on July 4th and 5th. It is incredibly important to me that everyone who spends their hard-earned money to see a show gets the absolute best experience possible, and right now, that standard just can’t be met without my trucks. It kills me to have to do this because putting on these shows for you guys has always been the greatest joy of my career, but unfortunately, my hands are tied. Refunds will be automatically credited to the original method of payment within 30 days.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cody Jinks (@codyjinks) Production trucks can carry a wide array of equipment, ranging from instruments like guitars, microphones, drums, and keyboards to audio and visual production equipment, including mixing boards, monitors, video displays, and more. While it’s unclear what those trucks were carrying, or possibly who was driving that made them get rejected at the border, but it’s apparent that they were holding essential equipment for Cody Jinks’ show and that he was not comfortable putting on a bare-bones performance. It’s heartbreaking for the ticket holders, but Jinks is doing the right thing by ensuring that everyone gets a full refund, and I’m sure he will find a way to bring his music across the border, allowing him to put on the show of his dreams. On the bright side, hopefully, Jinks can spend some time with his family shooting off fireworks and celebrating our nation. You wanna be on American soil for America’s birthday, right? Not the worst turn of events if you ask me… Before you go, fire up his latest single “The Others.” If you’re looking to catch Cody Jinks on the road this year, check out his extensive number of tour dates below: Cody Jinks 2025 Tour Dates July 10, 2025–Wheatland, CA–Hard Rock Live* July 11, 2025–Stateline, NV–Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys* July 12, 2025–Berkeley, CA–Greek Theatre UC Berkeley* July 17, 2025–Kent, WA–accesso ShoWare Center* July 18, 2025–Redmond, OR–Fairwell Festival July 19, 2025–Airway Heights, WA–Northern Quest Amphitheater* July 26, 2025–Morrison, CO–Red Rocks Amphitheatre August 7, 2025–Asbury Park, NJ–Stone Pony Summer Stage# August 8, 2025–Philadelphia, PA– The Met Philadelphia presented by Highmark# August 9, 2025–Baltimore, MD–Pier Six Pavilion* August 11, 2025–Virginia Beach, VA–The Dome# August 13, 2025–New York, NY–The Rooftop at Pier 17# August 15, 2025–Bridgeport, CT–Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater* August 16, 2025–Boston, MA–Leader Bank Pavilion* August 17, 2025–Syracuse, NY–Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview* September 10, 2025–Pryor, OK–Born and Raised Festival September 13, 2025–Temple, TX–Tanglefoot Festival September 18, 2025–Des Moines, IA–Lauridsen Amphitheater at Water Works Park* September 19, 2025–Indianapolis, IN–Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park* September 20, 2025–Youngstown, OH–Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre* December 12, 2025–Las Vegas, NV–The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas^ December 13, 2025–Las Vegas, NV–The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas^ *with Tanner Usrey ^with Ward Davis #with Shane Smith & The Saints Cody will also embark on an acoustic tour with Ward Davis in November: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cody Jinks (@codyjinks) The post Cody Jinks Cancels 4th Of July Weekend Shows After Production Trucks Denied Entry Into Canada first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

You can’t ever make everyone happy… especially if you sing a duet with Zach Bryan. Willow Avalon joined the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast recently to talk about growing up in Georgia and moving to California (and eventually New York City), pursuing music at the young age of 15 , honing her skills as a songwriter and some of her musical inspirations, her debut album Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell, her plans for future music and much more. Something that also came up – and I’m not sure how it couldn’t have – was Willow Avalon’s performance with Zach Bryan at Stagecoach earlier this year. The country music star brought out Willow to help him sing the female duet part of “I Remember Everything,” which was done by Kacey Musgraves in the studio recording. If you missed on Avalon laying down her signature vocals during the live performance, you can check it out below: Pretty great, eh? Even though it was an beautiful performance, the internet decided to make things ugly. Hard to imagine that, right? The internet sucking the joy out of something cool? Because of all of the drama with Zach Bryan and his high-profile ex-girlfriend Brianna Chickenfry, any female artists that now associate themselves with the “Pink Skies” singer inadvertently step into a storm of social media criticism. All kind of accusatory messages and attacks were sent Willow’s way after she performed with Zach Bryan, and all she could do was feel bad for those online that were calling her out over… really nothing at all: “People on the internet… it hurts my heart for them. Go outside and touch grass, have a beautiful life. You are here, you are living it. Don’t live in this negativity. Especially towards people that you do not know… The Zach Bryan stuff has been brought into it. But the thing with me is like I don’t know him as a partner. He has only been kind to me, and I love his music.” And what rising artist would pass up the opportunity to sing with one of country music’s biggest names in front of a Stagecoach crowd of 100,000 people? Since Willow Avalon was touring with Zach Bryan, it made perfect sense that she would come out and help sing “I Remember Everything.” What doesn’t make perfect sense is all of the backlash and phony rumors that were spread after the fact, as she explained: “We’re very grateful to be on tour with him and to be able to play those shows. Stagecoach was crazy, and like I said, he’s only ever been kind. And my team and his team have been friends for a long time. I’m just basing things off of… like I said, the internet is a really intense place. You never know what’s true. Anyone that’s talking about me, 99% of it is not true.
